Technology can be used to support higher-order thinking in many different ways. Some higher-order thinking skills are complex problem solving, focus on real-world problems, and meeting educational objectives at the top of "Blooms Taxonomy". The new list of "Blooms Taxonomy", in order of least important to most important, is; Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create. You could use it to show students something that they may not be able to do everyday. For example, Google Earth. In google earth you can show students a different part of the world from the classroom. Along with exploring a different part of the world you can go back in time, 1998, and see how that particular place of the world may have changed with time. You can also, explore mars, the moon, or constellations. This is something that can become very interactive for the students which will enhance their learning.
